I’ve been playing racquetball quite regularly for a couple of years. Some weeks, it’s difficult to schedule the time, but lately, it’s been going well. Here’s my court time for the past week:
Wed 3/26 - doubles with my wife and some neighbors
Thu 3/27 - singles against my cousin Tim
Sat 3/29 - singles against my neighbor [...]

It’s been a month since I last wrote, but I’ve been thinking a lot. Quite a lot. And I realize that this blogger has been doing a lot of complaining and ranting lately. I don’t know why. I suppose it’s political season and I’m seeing and hearing a lot that I don’t like. But tonight, [...]

Well, another Thanksgiving holiday is in the books. Tricia puts on a very nice Thanksgiving dinner here at our house every year. I made the mashed potatoes and carved the turkey, but the whole event is pretty much Tricia’s creation.
This year was cool because the Packers also played (yes, they beat the Lions 37-26). So, [...]

Geez, I don’t know why we do this. We are all so sensitive in this country, the United States. We try so hard not to discriminate against women. We don’t like when we see discrimination against minorities. We even have federal laws that protect us from such behavior. All good stuff.
But what about the white [...]

I played racquetball again tonight. This is the second time I’ve played now since my arm has healed from the break. Friday night was good. Tricia and I played a match and there was no pain. Though my arm was a bit sore on Saturday.
So tonight Tricia and I played doubles with the Konshaks. We [...]

It was 38 days ago that I broke my arm on the racquetball court. My healing has gone well and I played again tonight for the first time in over 5 weeks. It felt good to be back on the court. Tricia and I played a match, and while I tended to take it easy [...]

I follow several football teams each fall at varying levels. This weekend, they all won!
West De Pere High School beat Oconto Falls High School 34-8 on Friday. St. Norbert College (where I work) beat Lake Forest College 38-6 on Saturday. Wisconsin beat Iowa 17-13. USC beat Washington State 47-14. And today the Green Bay Packers [...]

Crap, I broke my arm playing racquetball last Tuesday night. My wife Tricia and I play doubles quite a bit with Paul and Lisa Konshak. Well, Paul had just hit a hard shot against the front wall. I quickly broke to my right behind Paul to make my shot. But Paul was moving back and [...]

My daughter, Casey, and I went to the Packer game together tonight. The Packers played the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 3rd pre-season game. I’ve got to show you this cool photo. No, not the one over there on the right…the thumbnail below.
Early in the 2nd quarter, Packers rookie Desmond Bishop made a nasty hit on [...]

At 10:51pm central time tonight, Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron’s career home run record in a game where the San Francisco Giants lost to the visiting Washington Nationals 8-6. Bonds hit his 756th career home run, and he deserves to be honored for that.
Though it’s not been proven, many people believe that he has used [...]

My wife and I celebrated 20 years of marriage last week. It was actually pretty low key, but we did manage to go out to dinner together, just the two of us.
What’s even more cool is that we played racquetball this week. You know when you have those times when you’re doing something nice or [...]

So today I got out of bed with a pretty nasty charley horse in my right leg. It hurt a lot, but got a bit better as the day went on at work. So I went ahead with my weekly racquetball match with Dean. As it turned out, the excercise really helped my leg feel [...]
